The tournament-legal laser range finder will help add yardage to your amateur game with Vivid Display technology on board to generate clearer views over a distance range from 5-1300 yards. Featuring a waterproof and rainproof lens to use in all conditions, PinSeeker technology will help you find the flag amongst the bunkers and water hazards and at just 226g, it’s also small and light enough to throw into a golf bag.

Garmin Approach S3

The GPS specialist has updated its golf-centric sports watch with 27,000 global golf courses preloaded on to the touchscreen controlled device including 3,000 UK courses. There’s access to digital scorecards and a new Green View mode to give players a detailed breakdown of their grassy foe leaving you to concentrate on keeping those shoulders straight and nail that smooth backswing.

3.
Rokform Golf Shooter

With the backing from PGA Tour professional players and instructors, the aluminium iPhone 4/4S case mount aims to help correct your golf swing without having to spend bucket loads of money to do so. Simply place the Shooter into the turf and using one of a host of swing analysing apps on the App Store film your action to identify where you have been going so horribly wrong.

4.
Sensoglove

The digital golf glove with a sweat-proof 1.2-inch LED display will help golf newbies and amateurs to get a proper grip on their clubs. Providing real-time audio and visual feedback to correct the pressure needed to deliver a smooth, powerful swing, the ‘Automatic Sensitivity Selection’ technology will use history from the user to deliver the perfect settings needed to do it like the pros.

5.
Stewart Golf X7

Carry the club burden so you don’t have to, the remote-control futuristic robo-caddy was a world’s first back in 2003, and in its latest incarnation a new 12v Lithium battery sheds 8kg of weight from the body. There’s a 50m range to navigate the trolley around the course with while improved electronics make the X7 more efficient during a round. It's no deal breaker, but there's also a holder to get easy access to scorecards and a lucky ball.
